Provider Credentialing Process

How do Providers Become Part of Our Network?

Thank you for your interest in becoming a participating provider with BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York. We value your business and strive to provide quality service to our providers and members.

Initial Credentialing

Providers can enroll in our health plan by completing the Universal Credentialing Application with CAQH, the Council for Affordable Quality Health Care.

Recredentialing

The CAQH Universal Credentialing Application is our data source for recredentialing. As such, it is important that you keep your information on CAQH current. Update your CAQH application regularly with license(s), malpractice, demographic information, disclosure questions and attest to the accuracy of the information in the application.
